When I got my X the guys at Verizon said I could use it as a HotSpot. Well, today I found out you have sign up and pay for the service for you X to be used as a HopSpot.
Has anyone else been mislead?

Root your X and you can do the same thing for free. Head over to droidxforums.com for a step by step on how to do this.
Try this....works great for me and you dont need root.
1. Make phone discoverable
2. Open bluetooth devices in windows -> Add a device.
3. click on the phone that pops up.
4. click ok that the PIN numbers match.
5. Give it a minute to install the drivers, Don't worry if there's still an exclamation point in a triangle. It will still work.
6. Right click on the phone in the windows BT devices panel.
7. Select Connect as -> Access Point.
8. You are now online.

Could Someone tell me what that messageing Widget is in the 2nd screenshot on OP??Lmao!!!
I bet this is on you, It has been all over the place that the teather was going to cost $20 a month. It is on the site and in literature everywhere. They were right, you can use your x as a mobile hotspot, you just have to pay to do it!
Better research next time maybe??
Root, problem solved. Otherwise you will have to pay extra unfortunately. It sucks they didn't mention it costs money. Either they meant to mislead you or they were ignorant. Either one of those possibilities are probable.
Android keeps going, and going.....

LOL so true!
what means does the droid x use to enable the mobile hotspot and how does verizon track it??
bc we can tether via bluetooth and also through rooting (i think?), and as far as i know, these 2 methods wont charge extra
